 Description of the problemWhenever the temperatures dip below freezing, the door latches on the f-150 freeze and no longer latch. The colder it gets, the worse the latches perform. I am forced to drive long distances with a completely unsecured door. It has nearly caused multiple accidents, as when i make a turn the door flies open nearly striking nearby cars. I work 20 miles from home, and have driven 20 full miles with an unsecured door even after having my truck running for upwards of an hour before i leave the house with the heat on high. I have been late for work due to my inability to secure the door that my 2 year old daughter is supposed to be secured by. This is a serious safety concern that ford motor company is not taking seriously enough. I have had my truck in the shop three times now, and they can't seem to get it right. I have contacted ford directly, they just keep pushing it back on the dealership. The dealership keeps working on it, but they are saying that ford hasn't given them anything to work with as far as fixing it. I have also contacted the bbb in regards to this vehicle. By all the forums online, and complaints i have seen about these vehicles, i am clearly not the only person. Ford keeps selling these vehicles, and does not disclose this problem with any of the consumers. Then we are forced to drive unsafe vehicles while paying a premium price for them.
